This just might be the coolest gadget of the coming year. It’s called the loc8tor and it’s sole job is to help find things for you when you can’t find them. How does it work? You stick little postage sized tags on important items in your life and then register these tags with the loc8tor device. Whenever you misplace the item, the loc8tor will use directional, audio, visual, and vibration technology to guide you within 1 inch of the lost item. The range of the loc8tor is pretty impressive – coming in at around 150 meters or 500 feet – enough to cover a few rooms in a house. The loc8tor actually has two modes of operation – a Locate mode where it helps you find lost items, and an Alert mode which informs you when a tagged item has moved outside of preset boundaries.

The UK firm loc8tor will launch the product with two models – a $99.99 model which will help you find lost items and a $169.99 model which will also alert you when things leave the premises.
